WiFi sensing advancements facilitate the capture of human gestures from wireless signals, ensuring both privacy preservation and robustness under low-light conditions. Deep learning-based WiFi Human Gesture Recognition (HGR) demonstrates remarkable performance in handling complex gestures. To reduce labeling efforts, recent years have seen the emergence of semi-supervised WiFi HGR, leveraging massive amounts of unlabeled data. However, existing semi-supervised schemes often assume a balanced class distribution and utilize a fixed threshold for selecting pseudo-labels of unlabeled samples, leading to low performance for minority classes and decreased model generalization on real-world imbalanced datasets. To address this issue, we propose a novel semi-supervised WiFi HGR approach with dynamic pseudo-labeling thresholds to handle imbalanced class distribution, incorporating Spatial-Temporal Attention (STA) networks. Unlike using a fixed threshold for all unlabeled samples, our design implements class-independent thresholds for different classes, dynamically adjusting them by encoding pseudo-label distribution during training. To emphasize critical features in informative areas within the WiFi signals, we incorporate both spatial self-attention and temporal attention mechanisms to dynamically learn salient features and identify pivotal frames, respectively. Moreover, we introduce adaptive WiFi data augmentations that propel the semi-supervised framework and enhance model robustn...
